1 /5 MS Bailey Smith: I took my truck 2001 F250 7.3 in because I was having a hard start. Eric the owner told me he didnt work on 7.3 anymore. Nice way of saying it was to old. Then he took a look at my truck and said we will make exceptions in your because it is so clean. You just need to make an appointment and we will keep it overnight. So a few weeks go by. I put a new starter in and had trouble starting it the next day I called,made an appointment and AAA towed it in. I said I needed a diagnostic done. This started with the tow pkg relay that I replaced. Could you start there. He then calls me up saying Why did you bring your truck here? I tell him about our previous conversation and he says thats back when business was slow. I said thats not what you said then. They keep it all week then he calls me and said whoever was working on your truck was stupid all we did was clean the battery terminals and that will be 150. I asked his mechanic to send me a copy of the diagnostic when AAA brought it home because I didnt have a ride to pick it up. Truck arrives with a receipt that only said hard start 150 . Here it is 6 weeks later same thing. Batteries are new ,a year old.225 bucks each from Firestone.I call Eric and he says take it somewhere else. I asked him why he charged me 150 bucks for cleaning terminals. He proceeded to tell me do know what it costs to have a quarter million dollar business and pay bills. I replied yes I do I had a 4 bay brake and tire business in 1986 worth that then,had 4 mechanics and I sold cars in Roseville Auto Mall for 25 years and never would have charged 150 bucks for a jump start!
